Program
Sometimes you just don’t want to play by the rules, getting up to no good has been a remarkable inspiration for composers of all stripes. Prepare for an evening of passion, drama, and mischief as the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra presents Behaving Badly— a concert that explores characters who challenge the rules, embrace desire, and defy convention. Mozart’s Overture to Don Giovanni is a thrilling curtain-raiser to one of opera’s most infamous tales of seduction, revenge, and moral reckoning. With its dark opening chords and fiery energy, this overture sets the stage for an evening of bold storytelling. The selections from Ethel Smyth’s operatic masterwork The Boatswain’s Mate shines a light on a rollicking and rebellious slice of opera, filled with lively characters and rich vocal textures, celebrating the spirit of those who live outside the rules. Finally, Carl Orff’s iconic Carmina Burana is presented here with an intimate yet powerful arrangement that brings the beloved piece’s pulsating rhythms and dramatic intensity to life. With thunderous percussion, soaring vocal solos, and mesmerizing choral power, this work explores themes of fate, desire, and excess. With standout performances from soprano, tenor, and baritone soloists — plus the enchanting presence of harp — this evening will revel in the chaotic beauty of characters behaving badly. Join us for a night of unforgettable music where passion reigns supreme!
